So Chris posted the blog on Christmas but forgot to share the most amazing gift this year. He renovated the bathroom. I have been talking for 2 years about how I would like to have the bath tub surround redone. It was cracked and badly damaged. So the day after Christmas he took me to Lowes and had me help him pick out tile. I thought that was all he was going to do, but he also replaced our vanity, lights, faucets, and all the hardware in the room. Here are some before and after pictures.
Before
I went to go get a hammer drill for Chris to help get the tile off. He had been using a hammer and chissile and it was taking forever and was not extrealy effective. I guess I took to long because about 30 seconds before I got home he busted trough the wall. (It is a good thing becouse we found the wall was rotted from water leaking back there) When his hand went through the wall though the metel mesh that was in the wall cought his finger and ripped it open. I walked in the house and there was blood all over the bathroom and Chris was about to pass out. Luckly he didn't need stiches. It looked a LOT worse then it was. He finished the bathroom even with his bum hand.
After
One of my favorit features is that Chris built a custom medicine cabnet into the wall. The mirror is on hinges and opens, but it looks just like a normal mirror. I am impressed. Thanks for all the hardwork hun! You are the best husband/handiman ever!!!

Holy cow! I need a husband who can do things like that! That is awesome. E.Jay just plans on paying people to do things like that around the house (pray he is a good lawyer and gets a job!). We're not the best do-it-yourselfers. Congrats! Hope Chris's finger feels alot better soon! Poor thing! The bathroom looks fantastic!
Becca that is so awesome!! I love the green it accents the tile very very nicely! Tell Chris that I am sorry he had to have a battle wound from doing the wall but at least he did find the leak! I am so excited for you and it looks great!
Looks great! Good job chris!
